There are up to five Photo Flow modules to facilitate flexibility, allowing users to choose how many Photo Flow modules to use on a fReactor base platform.

The Installation required for each fReactor Photo Flow module is simple and straightforward. A versatile “plug-and-flow” setup is delivered by the fReactor, which is particularly well-suited to multiphasic reactions, facilitating continuous-flow processing by chemists with ease. There are alternative excitation wavelength options available upon request.Īn affordable entry point into the world of Flow Chemistry, Asynt’s popular fReactor integrates the efficiency of pipe-flow processing with the advanced mixing of 5 Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR). Two high power LED wavelengths options (450 nm / Blue and 365 nm / UV) accompany this new addition to the Asynt fReactor Flow Chemistry platform in order to suit most photochemical activation requirements. The fReactor Photo Flow has been specifically designed for high operational safety and ease of use, offering users all the key advantages that flow photochemical reactor offers over conventional batch systems, including controlled exposure times, consistent light flux and precise temperature control.

Exploring Photochemistry in Flow Chemistry Until now, however, synthetic organic chemists have tended to shy away from photochemistry as a result of safety concerns around overly complex equipment and ionizing UV light.

Ive been using photo workflow for 4 years now, and I cannot imagine. Photocatalysis is an extremely valuable and useful synthetic tool that provides access to typically problematic reaction pathways which might otherwise require multi-step synthetic routes using conventional thermal or chemical activation methods. The dedicated Lightroom plugin has access to your database and works with your PW. This innovative technology has allowed researchers to unlock Photochemistry in Flow, offering a powerful yet intuitive platform for those looking to explore this field of applications. The fReactor Photo Flow has been developed by Asynt in conjunction with the University of Leeds (UK).
